Protecting Human Subjects http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/references/resource.htm Description: The Office for Protection from Research Risks produced a videotape series entitled "PROTECTING HUMAN SUBJECTS," that consists of three instructional videotapes, as follows: 1. "EVOLVING CONCERN: Protection for Human Subjects" traces the development of today's comprehensive program to protect human subjects of research out of earlier ethical codes and societal concerns. This film selected historic events in behavioral and biomedical research to show why protection is needed and how it came about. 2. "BALANCING SOCIETY'S MANDATES: Criteria for Protocol Review" depicts an Institutional Review Board (IRB) in action. Dr. Edmund Pellegrino, Director of the Kennedy Institute of Ethics, explains the basis for the criteria that an IRB follows in reviewing research. In commenting on IRB deliberations he points out why the IRB seeks clarification and information from the researcher. 3. "THE BELMONT REPORT: Basic Ethical Principles and Their Application" describes the basic ethical principles that underlie research involving human subjects; respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. This film illustrates their application in case studies of biomedical and behavioral research and shows the principles at work in the resolution of ethical conflicts.

  • The Belmont Report Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research
    THE BELMONT REPORT ETHICAL PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES FOR THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN SUBJECTS OF RESEARCH The National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research April 18, 1979 SUMMARY: On July 12, 1974, the National Research Act (Pub. L. 93-348) was signed into law, there-by creating the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research. One of the charges to the Commission was to identify the basic ethical principles that should underlie the conduct of biomedical and behavioral research involving human subjects and to develop guidelines which should be followed to assure that such research is conducted in accordance with those principles. In carrying out the above, the Commission was directed to consider: (i) the boundaries between biomedical and behavioral research and the accepted and routine practice of medicine, (ii) the role of assessment of risk-benefit criteria in the determination of the appropriateness of research involving human subjects, (iii) appropriate guidelines for the selection of human subjects for participation in such research and (iv) the nature and definition of informed consent in various research settings. The Belmont Report attempts to summarize the basic ethical principles identified by the Commission in the course of its deliberations. It is the outgrowth of an intensive four-day period of discussions that were held in February 1976 at the Smithsonian Institution's Belmont Conference Center supplemented by the monthly deliberations of the Commission that were held over a period of nearly four years. It is a statement of basic ethical principles and guidelines that should assist in resolving the ethical problems that surround the conduct of research with human subjects.

    THE ROLE OF INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARDS IN AVIATION RESEARCH: IT'S THE LAW AND IT MAKES SENSE Dr. Earl S. Stein FAA, William J. Hughes Technical Center Atlantic City International Airport, New Jersey Research in medicine and social sciences often involves the participation of human participants, who under the rules in place today volunteer their time and understand both the benefits and risks associated with the research. This was not always the case. Rules, regulations, and laws currently require oversight by organizations referred to as Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). These boards exist to protect the participants, ensure their ethical treatment, and encourage good research. IRBs enhance the quality of research planning, and the IRB process should be part of every researcher's timeline for completion of his/her projects. example of the CIA's LSD research program.

    The Belmont Report Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research The National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research DHEW Publication No. (OS) 78-0012 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research Westwood Building, Room 125 5333 Westbard Avenue Bethesda, Maryland 20016 September 30, 1978 Honorable Joseph A. Califano, Jr. Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare Washington, D.C. 20201 Dear Mr. Secretary: On behalf of the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research, I am pleased to trans- mit our "Belmont Report: Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research." The identification of basic ethical principles that should underlie the conduct of research involving human subjects, and the development of guidelines to assure that such principles are followed, were topics of studies set forth in the Com- mission's mandate under Public Law 93-348. This mandate also directs the Commission to submit its report to the President, the Congress, and the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. Unlike most of the previous reports of the Commission, the Belmont Report does not make specific recommendations for admin- istrative actions by the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. Instead, it is our recommendation that the Belmont Report be adopted in its entirety as a statement of departmental policy on the conduct of research involving human subjects. Publication and dissemination of this policy will provide federal employees, members of Institutional Review Boards and scientific investigators with common points of reference for the analysis of ethical issues in human experimentation.

  • Statement of Authority and Purpose Division: IRB Date: March 1, 2012
    FRIENDS RESEARCH INSTITUTE, INC. 1040 Park Avenue, Suite 103 Baltimore, MD 21201 Subject: Statement of Authority and Purpose Division: IRB Date: March 1, 2012 IRB Policy 100.1: STATEMENT OF AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE ___________________________________________________________________________________ Governing Principals Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) are guided by the ethical principles applied to all research involving humans as subjects, as set forth in the report of the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research, titled: Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research (the "Belmont Report"). These principles are defined in the Belmont Report as follows: Respect for Persons – Legally effective informed consent is obtained, unless the requirements for waiver of informed consent are met by adequate and appropriate methods in accordance with the provisions of applicable regulations. Beneficence – The sum of the benefits to the subject and the importance of the knowledge to be gained so outweigh the risks to the subjects as to warrant a decision to allow the subject to accept these risks. Justice – The selection of subjects is equitable and is representative of the group that will benefit from the research. Authority 1. An Institution's IRB is established and empowered by that Institution’s executive authorities, and by the Institution’s Assurance with OHRP. An institution may have more than one IRB, but all must subscribe to the same underlying principles and authorities. This Institution, Friends Research Institute (FRI), requires that all FRI research projects involving human subjects or living human material (tissues, cells, serum, etc.), in which FRI is the sponsor, the applicant organization or otherwise engaged in research, be reviewed and approved by the IRB prior to initiation of any research-related activities, including recruitment and screening activities.

  • History of Ethics
    History of Ethics Prior to 1906, when the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed, there were no regulations regarding the ethical use of human participants in research. There were no consumer regulations, no Food and Drug Administration (FDA), no Common Rule, and no Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). What follows is a brief discussion of why federal rules and regulations were established and why IRBs became a necessity. Nuremberg Code: The most dramatic and well-known chapter in the history of research with human participants opened on December 9, 1946, when an American military tribunal opened criminal proceedings against 23 leading German physicians and administrators for their willing participation in war crimes and crimes against humanity. Among the charges were that German Physicians conducted medical experiments on thousands of concentration camp prisoners without their consent. Most of the participants of these experiments died or were permanently crippled as a result. As a direct result of the trial, the Nuremberg Code was established in 1948, stating that "The voluntary consent of the human participant is absolutely essential," making it clear that participants should give consent and that the benefits of research must outweigh the risks. Although it did not carry the force of law, the Nuremberg Code was the first international document which advocated voluntary participation and informed consent. Thalidomide: In the late 1950s, thalidomide was approved as a sedative in Europe; it was not approved in the United States by the FDA. The drug was prescribed to control sleep and nausea throughout pregnancy, but it was soon found that taking this drug during pregnancy caused severe deformities in the fetus.

  • U-MIC TRANSCRIPT the Belmont Report (Part Two)
    U-MIC TRANSCRIPT The Belmont Report (Part Two) Having established the basic ethical principles—respect for persons, beneficence, and justice— the Belmont Report examines three areas in which researchers and IRBs should apply those principles: the informed consent process, the assessment of risk and benefit, and the selection of human subjects. The report states: “Respect for persons requires that subjects, to the degree that they are capable, be given the opportunity to choose what shall or shall not happen to them.” It then isolates three elements that it considers crucial to an effective and appropriate consent process: information, comprehension, and voluntariness. Researchers have a duty to ensure that they inform individuals about what their participation would involve, that those individuals understand the information, and, if they then decide to participate, that it is of their own free will, without undue influence or coercion. But even before researchers have begun obtaining subjects’ consent, they will already have given careful thought to an assessment of the risk and benefits of the proposed research. This assessment is central to a complete a grasp of a study’s justification on ethical grounds. As the Belmont Report states: “For the investigator, [an assessment of risks and benefits] is a means to examine whether the proposed research is properly designed. For a review committee, it is a method for determining whether the risks that will be presented to subjects are justified. For prospective subjects, the assessment will assist the determination whether or not to participate.” The report goes on to discuss some of the difficulties of achieving a truly reliable assessment.

  • Guidelines for Classroom Research
    Guidelines for Classroom Research Many instructors encourage their students to engage in research as part of their course requirements. These research activities are typically intended to fulfill educational purposes (e.g., teaching research methods, exploring pedagogical techniques) rather than to create generalizable knowledge (i.e., be published or presented outside the university). Per the federal definition of human subjects’ research, these research activities at CCSU are considered to be solely classroom research as they do not meet the federal definition of generalizable research. As such, these classroom research activities do not require Institutional Review Board (IRB) review or oversight. If a class project or activity is designed with the intent to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge, it does meet the federal definition of research and should be submitted to the IRB for review prior to data collection. All thesis projects, doctoral dissertations, capstone projects, or any other research projects that may be published in the CCSU library and involve human participants, are considered to be generalizable human subjects research, and therefore must be submitted to the IRB for review. Responsibilities of the Faculty Instructor It is the responsibility of faculty instructors to determine whether research projects embedded into a class which involve human participants can be classified as a classroom research project rather than a generalizable research project. Faculty should contact the Human Studies Council if guidance in making this determination is required. Faculty who assign classroom research projects assume the responsibility for the ethical conduct of these projects and the responsibility for ensuring that the rights and welfare of human participants are protected.

  • U-MIC TRANSCRIPT the Belmont Report (Part One)
    U-MIC TRANSCRIPT The Belmont Report (Part One) In the 1970s, in the immediate aftermath of the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, the US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare—today the Department of Health and Human Services—formed a special commission to focus on bioethics policy. Between 1974 and 1978, this commission issued numerous reports and recommendations, including a summary of principles and guidelines to govern human subject research and the work of institutional review boards throughout the United States. That summary, published in 1979 and to this day a cornerstone document in human subject research ethics, was the Belmont Report. The report begins by defining research and distinguishing it from clinical practice. “The purpose of medical or behavioral practice,” says the report, “is to provide diagnosis, preventive treatment, or therapy to particular individuals. By contrast, the term ‘research’ designates an activity designed to test a hypothesis, permit conclusions to be drawn, and thereby to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge.” Next, the Belmont Report identifies three basic ethical principles that should guide researchers and IRBs in making the best ethical judgments in human subject research. Those three principles are respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. Respect for persons involves not only recognition of individuals’ autonomy, but also protection of those individuals whose autonomy is limited, such as children or the cognitively impaired. Sometimes, ethical conduct involves balancing the recognition of an individual’s autonomy and the protection of someone with limited autonomy. The Belmont Report presents the example of prisoners. As autonomous persons, prisoners may be entitled to participate in certain studies; as inmates, however, they may also face unusual kinds and degrees of influence.
